VRT help Vauxhall Vivaro

SirPat

Hello All, need some help

Anyone have a copy of: revenue ie vrt-legislation-non-statutory-consolidation.pdf
Seen it linked a couple of places but looks like revenue removed it.. and wandering if was removed for re-work for big changes coming up 31 July 2018. Anyone know if/when things were changed?

I was after the section in it: ie "From page 292 of this revenue VRT document:"and cant seem to find what if anything has replaced it and revenue documentation is being a pain to figure out. As trying to figure out when/if "crew cabs with a cargo area length less than 45% of the wheelbase and a GVW less than 2,520 kilograms are classified as category B. Those crew cabs that exceed either of these thresholds are classified as category C." was valid till and what would have been in place first quarter last year?

Actually am trying to figure out what it was early last year for a VRT dispute. I can see people linking the above doc up to and including 2016 but as far as can make out there were a couple of changes over the years and cant figure out exactly as other doc seem to lean toward that definition was removed some years before.. Need to get the details to show if is category C as several said when linked that doc..

Van is Vauxhall Vivaro SWB LR, 2 fixed seats in front, 1 fold-able/removable bench (seats 3), Cargo area 47%, GVW 2920 (136% of the mass in service), Windows in both sliding doors, no windows in back sides or back doors.
